Default 95 Civic 190K Small Leak on Passenger Side

After driving and then parking, I notice a small leak under the front passenger side. Attached is a picture after I backed up. I'm assuming this has gone on for some time as the blacktop is extremely soiled around that area. The liquid appears directly under the anti-freeze reservoir, yet the anti-freeze levels appear fine. The liquid also doesn't have doesn't have a greenish tint. The car does lose oil over time and I have to put in an extra quart every few months, so I'm thinking that may be a possibility. Any feedback is appreciated. Hopefully the location of the spot is some indication where it's coming from. Thanks.

Probably condensate from the a/c.

sounds reasonable, but i took the a/c compressor out years ago because it was faulty. there's not enough liquid on the ground for me to get a gauge of the color and consistency. if it was water, i don't think the black top would be so stained. maybe placing a small container under the front of the car will help me figure it out.
